The Fellowship of the Ring: Being the First Part of the Lord of the Rings

The Fellowship of the Ring: Being the First Part of the Lord of the Rings Book Description

Tolkien's classic fantasy about the quest to save Middle-Earth--and the basis for Peter Jackson's Academy Award(-winning film trilogy--is now available in these Young Reader's Editions. Each book of the trilogy is available individually, or together in a three-volume paperback boxed set.
For over fifty years, J.R.R. Tolkien's peerless fantasy has accumulated
worldwide acclaim as the greatest adventure tale ever written.
No other writer has created a world as distinct as Middle-earth, complete
with its own geography, history, languages, and legends. And
no one has created characters as endearing as Tolkien's large-hearted,
hairy-footed hobbits. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings continues to
seize the imaginations of readers of all ages, and this new three-volume
paperback edition is designed to appeal to the youngest of them.
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elvensmiths,
and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with
his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was
taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, still
it remained lost to him . . .

J R R Tolkien has contributed to The Fellowship of the Ring: Being the First Part of the Lord of the Rings as an author. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973) was a major scholar of the English language, specializing in Old and Middle English. Twice Professor of Anglo-Saxon (Old English) at the University of Oxford, he also wrote a number of stories, including most famously "The Hobbit" (1937) and "The Lord of the Rings" (1954-1955), which are set in a pre-historic era in an invented version of the world which he called by the Middle English name of Middle-earth.
